Welcome
There has been a church presence in Holbrooks since the early decades of the 20th century, when housing began to be built for people working in local industry.
The Church of Saint Luke was constructed in 1939 and, like the people of its parish, suffered the effects of the Second World War and its aftermath. The bomb damage was, however, made good and the church restored, a symbol of reconciliation and of God’s enduring presence among his people.
Over the years our area has seen many changes, and Saint Luke’s remains at the heart of the community as a reminder of God’s presence in our world and of his love alive and active in our neighbourhood.
We hope you will find the information on this website useful. It will let you know who we are, where we are, and what we are trying to achieve in God’s name in our parish.

Mass today at 19.00 followed by Bible Study. Memorial of Saint Pius of Pietrelcina. The Mass readings are available at rb.gy/gxlz6m. Known popularly as Padre Pio, Saint Pius was born in the small village of Pietrelcina in southern Italy, and joined the Capuchin friars at the age of sixteen. He became a priest seven years later, and spent fifty years at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo, where he was very much sought after as a spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor. Many miracles were popularly ascribed to him during his lifetime. He died a few days after the fiftieth anniversary of his receiving the stigmata, and over 100,000 people attended his funeral. ...
